Written by David Koke Updated over a week ago

To allow new users to sign up for your space via the web, you will first have to create and customize your web onboarding plugin, and then embed the code export from Optix on to your website.

**NOTE: your website must be SSL enabled (https) in order to accept payments through this feature. If you are not sure if your website meets these requirements, please contact your web developer or website hosting service**

Select Settings from the left hand menu, and then Features

Click the more button (three vertical dots) next to User Onboarding

Next to 'New users can gain access to your mobile app in the following way', select Useres can register themselves from the dropdown menu

Click Web Widget on the top of the screen, observe a mock up of the sign up screen and an editor panel on the left side of the screen

From the Design tab of the editor panel, you can customize the look and feel of the widget including color and front. You may also choose to select a preset theme.

Click through to the Options tab of the editor panel to upload images and specify welcome/thank you text

Click Save Changes

Click through to the Embed tab and specify how you would like the widget to display on your website (pop up, embed or via a link)

Click Get the Code/Link to generate an export of the code that can be added to your website

Embedding user sign-up on to your website

In step #7 above, you will have generated an export of some computer code. This needs to be added to your website in order to complete the process of integrating web user sign-up with your website.

When exporting the code, you first have to select how you want the sign-up form to display on your website.

Embed will allow you to have the sign up form integrated on to one of your existing web pages

Pop-up will allow you to have users click a button to open a modal that displays over top of the webpage

Link will give you the URL to which you can connect a "Sign-up" button (or something similar) to open the web user sign-up form on a separate page.

If you are unfamiliar with how to edit your website, it is recommended that you work directly with your web developer on how best to integrate this functionality on your site.
